The Day That Changed Everything

Joining the Tech4Impact Summit mentorship program last year was a turning point. Conversations with peers helped shape my idea, which has now become my recently incorporated company, KimPax Inc.
I’m excited to keep the momentum going this year.

Founder & CEO at KimPax

Last year’s event was one of the best, most content-driven I’ve ever attended. I rarely sit through that many keynotes, but I gained so much from them—thank you! The event even helped shape the sustainability tool I’m building today. I’m really looking forward to joining again this year.
